If you don't know about the Libertarian party, or the Libertarian approach to government, then you've allowed yourself to be brainwashed by the GOP, DNC and media ('conservative' or 'liberal'). It's not for the weak mind, and requires you to actually define all levels of government and social structure from the perspective of individual freedom - in my interpretation of Libertarianism, you don't elect people to do conduct the matters of governance for you; you are required to be engaged in all aspects of your local government and its connections to all the surrounding and impacting 'governments' (ie., if your local area produces and sells to foreign countries, your local government dictates those terms, not DC or your state or your county). Some Libertarians would advocate that any type of law or institution (public or private) which impinges on personal freedom is unlawful. So think about a current corporate contract with a wireless provider - some to most of that contract would be null and void because it impinges on your individual rights as a human, whereas today's world sees corporate rights as more important than an individuals (hence all your personal data is for sale, even if you don't agree with how it is collected, to whom or how it is sold, or, better yet, that you not only pay a corporation for the right to use their service AND give them so much of your personal info, but they then can make money by selling your info - they get money at both ends, and you get taken at both ends).

I don't think Gary Johnson has the charisma to garner the attention necessary to win. He will likely fall through the cracks and get lost in the bombast of this election that is unlike any in U.S. history I think even Rand Paul would have had a better chance as a Libertarian candidate

Kickstartering saidI could see voting LP unless it became clear that the ego lunatic Trump had a chance of winning.But if Trump were done and the contest was between the Democrats and the LP, I could vote LP.

It won't be between the LP and Dems; LP isn't strong enough or large enough for that.

So vote Johnson. You're in GA (I assume) which will likely go Trump. I'm in NJ, which will choose Hillary.

That's not the issue at all. The LP, even as the largest and most credible third party, simply isn't big enough (yet).

I didn't say it was the only issue, but it's an important factor for sure. A charismatic leader, especially in a year like the 2016 election cycle has been, could definitely grow the party. I just don't think Gary Johnson has the charisma (or message) to be that person
